Docling: Unsafe Archive Extraction and XML Parsing in METS-GBS Backend

Published Jun 26, 2026 · Updated Jun 26, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. From 2.45.0 until 2.91.0, the METS-GBS backend's XML parsing and the input document format detection lacked security controls. An attacker could craft malicious METS-GBS archives that, when processed, could read sensitive files, exhaust system resources, or cause application crashes. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.91.0.
